Gestapo in the streets of SoCal

[Bill Bess]

Jamo, you got it correct..it's a revocable privilege to operate on the highways of America.

We pay the freight, we require rules and laws and yes, we need ocasional enforcement...even if it's ineffective and situational to a location or region. Too many folks feel entitled and that everything is up to their interpetation. If the authorities have a legitimate purpose and it pertains to safety..it's most likely a good thing.
I remember all those "smog stops", "drunk driving stops" and of course all those truck inspection places along the highways.

We've come a long way in making the highways better, and safer while increasing the ease of travel, so what's a few Gestopo's inspections going to do?...Hopefully save my life.

Hey...move to AZ where all we have is photo camera's and cops that hate getting out of their air conditioned cars.

Pedal to the metal, Bill

Add this with towing vehicles where the driver is unlicensed or uninsured was the best way to eliminate alot of the problems on the roadways.

OutstandingThe rest of us should be subjected to un-warranted,un-reasonable,useless,non-safety,non-pollution effecting,revenueing tactics because you're "pi$$ed off.That's just "b!tchin".

Bill...you're being a bit too aggressive with your hate for all things California. Back off or I'll ban Arizona. Thanks.
